| Main objective |
The objectives of this survey are to follow the changes in certain behaviors, but also to build promotion strategies for health and to influence health policies in favor of young people. The international and multidisciplinary dimension of the survey is an undisputed wealth of information for understanding the behaviors and lifestyles of young Frenchmen. The HBSC survey follows a research protocol that is common to all of the countries, in order to standardize the sampling and data collection methods as much as possible. |
